This 10 centimes stamp from the Belgian Congo depicts the striking Sable Antelope (Hippotragus equinus), a majestic African species recognized by its long, curved horns and distinctive facial markings. Designed by J. Van Noten and printed by Courvoisier S.A., it belongs to the “Fauna of Congo” definitive series issued before independence. The bold red overprint “CONGO” symbolizes the transition period toward the Congo Republic in 1960. This issue remains a notable collectible, combining fine wildlife art with colonial-era postal history.
